Just got offered Ryan Mathews for my Pitta (drafted as a back up for Gronk). He also has Knowshon and R Jennings but seems to be much higher on them both (i could always ask though). My RBs right now are: M Ball, J Bell, C Johnson, F Jackson, and J Hill. Worth it? I feel the value is good for me but with Gronk's history.... and to be honest, unsure how crazy I am about Mathews in general, but since it is a TE for a RB I feel I need to consider it. vikingstrike fucked around with this message at 13:04 on Sep 10, 2014 |

Mathews should be an instant starter for your team (RB2 or Flex, depending on how bullish you are on J Bell). Unless you have a crazy TE heavy scoring and there are no TE free to pick up.

Unless you have a crazy TE heavy scoring and there are no TE free to pick up. Yeah, this was my initial reaction as well... Just wanted to make sure my calculation of (Gronk's injury risk, WTF do I do?) < (every week RB2/Flex starter who is better than everyone other than J Bell and M Ball). Well, he dropped Jordan Reed (why he offered the trade in the first place), and Delanie Walker and Dwayne Allen are all available now, for example as TE fillers. My lineup goes from: Cam D Thomas, Jordy Ball, Bell, Johnson/Jackson/whoever Gronk to Cam D Thomas, Jordy Ball, Bell, Mathews Gronk w a bench of J Hill, F Jackson, C Johnson J Gordon, Colston, and K Benjamin vikingstrike fucked around with this message at 13:11 on Sep 10, 2014 |

I tried to buy low on Keenan Allen, I've negotiated the deal to: I give: T. Williams + D. Sproles I get: Allen I think I kinda need to do it so I can bump Larry Fitzgerald down to flex. I hate losing the handcuff, though. Here's the rest of my team for reference: QB: Cutler RB: McCoy, Morris, Stacy(flex), Sproles, Andre Williams WR: Patterson, Fitzgerald, T. Williams(flex), Hunter, Watkins, Dobson, John Brown, J. Matthews TE: Pitta

This one guy in my work league has so far: - Drafted MJD with the 12th overall pick - Dropped Larry Fitzgerald after the first week (who he drafted in the high 4th round before the likes of Andre, Vincent Jackson, and Gronk) - Also randomly dropped Martellus Bennett and Terrence West after they each had a great first week I look forward to seeing what he will do next

So I'm looking forward to week 4 when apparently half my team will be on bye. My roster: QB- Matt Ryan RB- Montee Ball RB- LeVeon Bell WR- Demaryius Thomas WR- Andre Johnson WR- Percy Harvin FLEX- Andre Ellington TE- Zach Ertz ----------------------- B- Joique Bell B- Steven Ridley B- Wes Welker B- Josh Gordon B- Colin Kaepernick B- Michael Crabtree On week 4 I will have Demaryius Thomas, Montee Ball, Andre Ellington, Percy Harvin, Wes Welker, and Josh Gordon on BYE. That will leave me with Steven Ridley in the FLEX, Crabtree as my WR2, and a waiver wire pickup as my WR3. I'm also playing the favorite to win the league that week. What the hell should I do? Try to a 2 for 1 trade to free up some roster space? Play without a WR3? Try to swing a trade? This sucks Bradshaw is available. Drop Ridley for him?

Vereen looked awesome, which maybe bumps Ridley down a bit, but Ridley is still the guy for the running game and had some good attempts. Bolden didn't get much volume, and White was a scratch. I think the main thing dragging down his points last week was the Dolphins pressure at the line. I'd still start Ridley at flex.

That's the best evidence I've heard so far that Martin was benched because he sucked (I'm always skeptical of coach speak and didn't really buy Lovie's Rainey praise at face value). Either is better than Dwyer.

So after doing the Marshawn Lynch for AJ Green trade, I feel like I'm pretty heavy on RBs. I THINK I'm ok at WR but I'm not used to flying without a top-tier WR at all times. I've got Montee Ball, Alfred Morris, Beast Mode, Knowshawn Moreno AND Ryan Matthews chilling on my team, but only Alshon Jeffery, Larry Fitzgerald, and Michael Floyd (and an autodrafted Riley Cooper who I'm about to drop for some week-one-hyped free agent). I feel like some of that RB talent is just gonna rot on my bench. Thinking of trading away Morris and/or Matthews, but not sure what to expect in return. Also, would Kelvin Benjamin qualify for a worthwhile week-one-hype bench add? Lock fucked around with this message at 14:38 on Sep 10, 2014 |

With Jordan Reed hurt I replaced him with Heath Miller, but someone dropped Kelce during waivers so I can grab him waiver-free. Am I better off holding onto Reed in case he bounces back or should I go with my gut and grab Kelce since Miller is serviceable?

I kinda hate not being able to add free agents because of my bench being so strong. It's a good problem to have, but I feel like I am missing out, hah. Right now my bench is Jennings, Woodhead, Newton, Hunter, West, Benjamin and Gordon. Quick, Crowell, Hurns (even though I'm not sure I buy into the hype on him) are out there for the picking. Quick intrigues me, although he kind of is in the Hurns category for me and do I really want to have 2 Browns RBs on my team with West AND Crowell?

Time for our hourly "the opposite of whatever was last reported" Josh Gordon newsquote:Supposedly, the 32 reps decided that the policy needed to be revised before voting on it, but ESPN's Ed Werder reported that a vote could come as soon as Wednesday, and suspended players expecting reinstatement believe playing soon is possible. In Gordon's case, his ban could be overturned altogether, because under the new agreement, he wouldn't have tested positive for marijuana. Those who own Gordon will want to monitor his status closely Wednesday, as a vote could be imminent.

An hour or two ago there was some chatter about Gordon not falling within the 2014 season punishment window that would allow him to be reinstated. I'm hanging onto him in all of my leagues until there's definitive news one way or the other, but half-thinking about trading him away in the case that it does turn out to not pan out.

Butter Hole posted:Does anyone have any hot TE pickups? I am not feeling so great about Charles Clay. There's guys like Jared Cook and Ladarius Green on waivers, but no one else that I've really heard of. What do you need the TE for? Assuming that the top 15 + all the hyped sleepers are gone: If you need a Cameron sub or a bye-week TE2, I like Gates, Heath Miller, Clay, and Dwayne Allen (in that order). If you want to stash a TE flyer for TE premium leagues, I like Green, ASF, Cook, Wright, Fiedorowicz (in that order). I would rather have RB and WR lotto tickets in non-TE-premium. edit: Might as well take this opportunity to point dynasty folks towards CJ Fiedorowicz. I think he has oodles of potential (and I already nabbed him in one of the SA dynasty leagues so I don't mind sharing my thoughts about him here). Main strengths: 1) He's huge (6'5, 265 lbs, 10-inch hands) and extremely athletic. At the combine this year, he was the top TE in both 3-cone drill and shuttle, and reports out of camp this year have drawn a lot of Gronk comparisons. 2) His coaches have been gushing about him. They think he's a complete package - he's a solid blocker, has good hands, can run routes well, and can get good separation. They also think he's smart: quote:O’Brien, tight ends coach John Perry and offensive line coach Paul Dunn traveled to Iowa City for Fiedorowicz’s pro day in May. They wanted to see him work, test his football IQ and find out what kind of person he is. They left 100 percent sold. 3) He had a great scouting report and was drafted highly (3rd round, 65th overall). Here's the nfl.com profile going into the draft: quote:Has outstanding size and big hands. Has size to widen the hole or seal defensive ends. Good balance and body control for his size. Surprising lower-body flexibility to sink his hips to run sharp-angle routes. Has stature and enough speed to threaten the seam. Understands how to use his frame and physicality to create subtle separation. Makes athletic hands catches off his frame. Sizable catch radius. Shows toughness and concentration in traffic. Lowers his shoulder to deliver a blow after the catch. Can line up in-line or split out. Smart and durable. 4) The new coach, Bill O'Brien, is likely to build his offense around TEs. He was part of the Pats org during the 2-TE rampage, and developed an offense at Penn with a similar emphasis on TE sets (including 2-TE passing downs and TE-blocker power run game). CJ currently might look buried behind Graham and Griffin, but he's a (bigger) better blocker than both, and was drafted specifically to suite O-Brien's long-term plans. He's worth a stash.

Although DAL is considerably weaponized on offense, I am hoping that playing a good defense at home will continue Romo's shitshow streak. Speaking of which, he was dropped in one of my leagues but I can't see dropping one of these for him: Ellington, Rashad Jennings, MJD, Colston, Kendall Wright, FJax, or Potboy. Well, I guess I can see dropping MJD or Wright but I don't have a need for backup QB and MJD may provide value for someone else.
